ICE is NOT psychotic. they are hateful, fascist, evil, horrible, motherfuckers. but they are not /psychotic/. people who are actually psychotic., i.e. lost in a world of hallucination and delusion and confusion, are some of the MOST at risk of being murdered by law enforcement

They won’t have to say anything to justify shooting me unprovoked in broad daylight, because I’m Black, and that’s a good enough reason.
What is the fascist state going to say about you when its Secret Police shoot you unprovoked in broad daylight?

Mine’s easy: “he was a dangerous radical Marxist professor.”

In case you've seen the story about “grok now only generates images for paid users”, it's untrue. Apparently everyone just reported it because… it was what grok told them 🤦🏼

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature
X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.

It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.
Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say this is one of the greatest comics. It has moved me to tears multiple times. Kelly Thompson @kellythompson.bsky.social is killing it and I hope this becomes the definitive Wonder Woman run (and origin.)

Here's some more context for the above panel.

At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. @evystadium.bsky.social has more.

There was some quote about Elon from a person who knew him that was something along the lines of “he loves humanity but despises human beings” and man that’s the Rosetta Stone for everything isn’t it? How they love America and love faith and love law and order and all of it

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

2026 is the last year journalism has to save themselves
The Washington Post and New York Times learned about the Maduro operation ahead of time and chose not to report it to "protect the troops." The few whistleblowers we have left are getting abandoned.

Traditional media is dead. Independent media must step up.

It’s clear by how Trump behaves he has no concept of accountability & doesn’t expect to ever face it. He’s on to the next crime spree while we’re contemplating the last. I don’t see him as trying to distract from Epstein with Venezuela cuz I don’t think he really thinks he’ll be caught at anything.

Leftism is the democrats' boogeyman & scapegoat for why they never win, but actually leftism's what they need, which they realize at times when they appropriate radicalism. Equitable distribution of resources & collective care that counters capitalism is what everyone's screaming for from them.
